Johnny Depp: A Retrospective on Late-Stage Capitalism

October 4th, October 8th at 7:00pm

October 6th at 9:30pm

October 7th at 3:00pm

Join “Johnny Depp”, preteen heart-throb turned wino forever, for a retrospective on every film in his entire career, even the ones we didn’t watch, in order to ask… what happened?

A satirical power-point "extravaganza” that is part ritual and part drunken singalong. Johnny Depp: A Retrospective... features throwing things at random intervals, “fabulous” prizes, and a celebrity circus we keep tuning in to.

“To watch a show like this recalls the sense of imagination that the Fringe is really all about.” – Broadway Baby

“Johnny Depp: A Retrospective on Late Stage Capitalism is both exactly what you’d expect it to be and also something else entirely.” – Deadline, UK
